The Dash Diet
Researcher Teresa T. Fung, Sc.D., an associate professor of nutrition at the Simmons College School for Health Studies in Boston, recently published results in the Archives of Internal Medicine based upon the well-known Nurses' Health Study, conducted from 1980 to 2004. This study tracked the health and nutrition of 88,517 healthy female nurses aged 34 to 59, who had no initial evidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes or risk factors for stroke.
Unlike previous studies, Fung and her colleagues looked at the effect of a DASH-like diet on cardiovascular endpoints such as heart disease and stroke. They calculated a score that took into consideration how closely the subjects' normal diets resembled DASH--low in animal protein, moderate in low-fat dairy products and high in plant proteins--and then counted the incidence of heart attacks, coronary-related deaths and strokes.

They found that, after a 24-year period, 2,129 women had a non-fatal heart attack, 976 died of coronary heart disease and 2,317 had strokes. The one-fifth of women in the group whose diets were most similar to DASH were 24 percent less likely to develop coronary heart disease and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than the one-fifth of women with the lowest DASH scores.
The American Heart Association consistently recommends DASH as a nutritional program all Americans should follow, and it is also featured in the USDA's 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the U.S. High Blood Pressure Guidelines.
